Battle Shackles

Mad Dog's eyes flashed with disbelief, and he subconsciously clutched his throat. His figure slowly faded and disappeared.

It seemed that at the instant the blade reached him, Mad Dog had reacted and chosen to leave the Intersection Lands, saving his life.

"Careful—" Before Word Spirit Master Qilin, whose Spirit stat was the highest, could finish his warning, he saw Mad Dog forced to leave. That small figure rushed towards him, wildly swinging a dagger! Qilin, having just experienced a major battle, didn't even have the Spirit to cast a True Word Shield on himself. He could only rely on his level 3 Combat Specialization, which he had painstakingly trained, to fight and retreat.

Golden Bull stripped the Skeleton Mage Leader of its equipment and quickly threw it into his storage space. He then strode over, wanting to Cover Qilin, but a speck of light was projected from afar, turning into a distorted field of light, trapping Golden Bull like a swamp, greatly reducing his speed.

Qilin could only face that terrifying enemy alone. The opponent clearly had an Agility Specialization, and his close combat attacks were like Wind! With similar combat specializations, Qilin was unable to resist at all, suffering continuous blows, and three or four deep, bone-deep bloody marks quickly appeared on his body! The physical pain was secondary; what truly chilled Qilin to the bone was the notification he received from the Spirit Realm Will.

[An unknown enemy's normal attack has dealt 27 points of Sharp Damage to you. You have been poisoned, currently at: 1 stack. Toxin effect: Lose 3 health points per second.]

[An unknown enemy's skill: Death Cross has dealt 19, 21 points of Sharp Damage to you. You have been poisoned, currently at: 3 stacks. Toxin effect: Lose 9 health points per second.]

What an overbearing Toxin, it can even stack! Qilin realized something was wrong. Who knew how many stacks this Toxin could reach! With his meager hundred-plus health points, he would probably be poisoned to death after taking two more hits! Although there were detoxification items in his storage space, Qilin decided not to struggle and directly left, disappearing into light. The opponent had first "taken out" Mad Dog with a sneak attack, and with their side losing its strongest member, they were destined to lose if they continued fighting.

Above the Ice River, before the tomb, only Golden Bull remained.

He finally ran out of the slowing field, only to be blocked by that short, thin Awakened wielding a dagger. Golden Bull glanced back and saw a woman in a white robe holding a magic wand, her expression icy.

"Who are you?" Golden Bull asked hoarsely. He noticed that neither of the enemies had turned on their Spirit Energy Cameras, obviously planning this for a long time, not hesitating to violate the rules of the Intersection Lands set by the military!

"Don't ask what you shouldn't. If you want to survive in the Intersection Lands, obediently hand over your Spirit Energy Camera," the short Awakened said in a hoarse voice.

Golden Bull shuddered: "What do you want the Spirit Energy Camera for?"

"What do you think?" The short Awakened snorted coldly.

"You want to deal with Bai Pu?"

Golden Bull thought of a possibility. This Spirit Energy Camera was standard military equipment, and besides having a positioning function to view the locations of a few friends, he couldn't think of any other use.

Golden Bull also confirmed the other party's identity, they must be members of the Superstar Alliance! He had also heard a little about the grudges between Bai Pu and the Superstar Alliance.

"Don't worry, you can't kill anyone in the Intersection Lands, it's just to teach him a lesson."

The short Awakened opened his hand, and two Spirit Energy Cameras were already lying quietly in his palm. He said coldly: "Even if you don't give it, the cameras left by your two companions are enough for us to track down Bai Pu's location."

"Then why do you still want mine..."

Golden Bull stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, realizing the other party's purpose—

To prevent him from sending a message to warn Bai Pu! Handing over the Spirit Energy Camera would allow the two to find Bai Pu and expel him from the Intersection Lands; not handing it over would mean he would replace Bai Pu and be expelled from the Intersection Lands! The reason the two didn't continue attacking him and forcibly seize the camera was probably because he was a tank class with thick skin and flesh, and the two didn't have the confidence to kill him instantly. If he reacted and stubbornly warned Bai Pu, all their efforts would be in vain.

Golden Bull struggled internally for a few seconds, then obediently handed over the Spirit Energy Camera.

"Get lost," the short Awakened waved his hand.

Golden Bull cautiously retreated, retreated, and after retreating to a safe distance, turned and slipped away.

The short Awakened ignored him, looking down to check the three Spirit Energy Cameras.

"Fish Intestine, did you get it?" the woman in the white robe asked.

"Yes, we saw with our own eyes that all three of them added 'Bai Pu' as a friend." The short Awakened's voice was hoarse, especially emphasizing the words "Bai Pu," with a File-like hatred.

The woman in the white robe said resentfully: "We've fallen to this point because of that damned experimental subject Bai Pu. It would have been better if he had obediently been captured by us. He actually dared to scheme against us, and as a result, we lost a precious anchoring object, which we simply can't afford to compensate for!"

The short Awakened glanced at her coldly: "And don't forget the grudge of Great Que."

These two people were the remaining two members of the Sting Squad: Fish Intestine and Containing Light! The shyness on Containing Light's pretty face flashed by as she said, "Of course I remember, but Great Que is already dead, and we have to live. If we don't kill Bai Pu, we'll never be able to turn things around."

The Sting Squad lost the Evolution Source Blood and had to compensate according to the agreement, but how could they afford it?

Fortunately, Little General Wu of the Superpower Corporation had already stated that as long as Bai Pu died, the Source Blood debt owed by the two would be written off!

Because after Bai Pu's death, the Superpower Corporation would have the right to obtain Bai Pu's remains according to the clinical medical agreement, and the lost Source Blood could naturally be re-extracted.

Of course, the actions of the two members of the Sting Squad were personal acts of revenge and had nothing to do with the Superpower Corporation.

Fish Intestine looked at the positioning on the Spirit Energy Camera and narrowed his eyes: "Bai Pu is in the Black Mist Valley. Remember, our goal this time is not to force Bai Pu to leave the Intersection Lands, but to kill him with one blow!"

Containing Light said in surprise, "Can't we kill him in the Intersection Lands? Isn't the goal this time to drive him away?"

The areas where Awakened usually train are nothing more than three: the Wilderness Area, the Intersection Lands, and the Spirit Realm Plane.

The Wilderness Area is the wilderness of the real world, with countless mutated monsters and all kinds of strange demonized plants. Many of the grievances and love affairs between Awakened are resolved in the Wilderness Area, as long as the corpses are destroyed and no evidence is left! In the various Spirit Realm Planes, there are restrictions on the Main Quest, and it is not easy for Awakened to escape. General escape props have a 10-second restriction that cannot be interrupted! But only the Intersection Lands is not convenient for killing people. As long as the attacked Awakened has a thought, they can leave the Intersection Lands and return to reality! Just like the Mad Dog and Qilin just now.

Therefore, the plan that Containing Light initially learned was to expel Bai Pu from the Intersection Lands, leaving him nowhere to go. If he wanted to improve his strength, he could only go to the Wilderness Area or the Spirit Realm, which would be the time to strike.

Fish Intestine said lightly, "Don't worry about that, I'm prepared!" As he said that, he set an item in his hand to the exhibition state.

Battle Shackles: Bloody item. Can be used on Awakened, the space of the user and the target is in a state of stagnation, during which neither can return to reality from the Spirit Realm, nor can they be teleported to the Spirit Realm from the real world. Duration: 60 seconds.

The Intersection Lands is the intersection of reality and the Spirit Realm, and the effect of the Battle Shackles also applies.

"Bloody item!" Containing Light was startled, "This is the first time I've seen it... This kind of item is strictly prohibited from being used in the Intersection Lands, right?"

"Are you scared?" Fish Intestine asked coldly.

"No, I'm not..." Containing Light said with some lack of confidence.

"That's why I didn't tell you from the beginning." A deep light flashed in Fish Intestine's eyes, "Now it's not a question of whether you and I want to use prohibited items, but that we have no choice! Can you afford the Evolution Source Blood?"

Containing Light shook her head dejectedly.

"After this job is done, we'll go to Southeast Asia to avoid the Wind." Fish Intestine said lightly.

Hearing that there was a way out, Containing Light breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She probably also realized her weakness just now, and quickly remedied it, offering an idea: "Fish Intestine, boss, do you want to use this Spirit Energy Camera to send a message to Bai Pu and let him meet up with his friends?"

"No. Bai Pu is with three people, but they only belong to the same organization, and their relationship is not close. Otherwise, they would definitely not leave Bai Pu to act alone when fighting BOSS."

Fish Intestine analyzed, "Especially since I don't know how the Awakened called Golden Bull is related to Bai Pu! If the relationship is very bad, wouldn't sending a message be a waste of effort?"
